Thanks mama, that means alot.

I was scared I'd get run out of here. (hopefully not)

I did not feel like taking part in this contest... so here is my sloppy short story to keep my word, and get wooped...

I hope you enjoy the read

one last drink [CD2021]

ACK, JUST LOOKED AT THE CALENDAR & WHY THE HECK AM I SHOUTING LIKE THIS?




... Sorry about the shouting above, I'm easily overwhelmed, just like I've been all during this contest reading all the really great and unique stories surrounding the theme "Cafe Delirium". Have to say that I've been really taken back by all the unexpected twists and turns in many of these Contest presentations.

So here's the dealio folks....... if you still haven't written something up, there's no better time like the present to give it a go. And for the rest of you creative writers that may have already contributed..... lets push your creative boundaries and get us one more before the bell tolls for me... err for you.. ahem.. well.. you know, the end of the contest (told you I get easily overwhelmed especially with bells involved).

So anywho... For those that may just now be dropping by... you picked a great time to read some really awesome stories. And if your so inclined, there's still time to write us an entry of your own.

GEEEZ LOUISE... Have I become Capt. Obvious or what?

JA

Hey Folks...

I decided to slip another delirious rumination in here.
Upside Down - Just a Little?

This is it folks final Curtain Call. Doesn't matter how many stories you've written... I know there's at least one more idea you had that you could work on right now!

One more for the heck of it... writer.

The Plan

As always, thank you for reading and good luck to all who enter.

Why thank you Johnny.
Nope, Not This Time

Explanation for use of the word girl.

Look, when a woman is clearly less than half the age of the man-speaker, it should be acceptable for him to say girl, even if she's 21.

I've come back from my extended ATS absence to find a story contest is ending. This would've been a fun one, too. Maybe next time. Hope all's well JA.
